📝 Preparation Steps
1
Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat oven to 200 degrees. Place a large serving bowl on middle rack (large enough to accommodate a pound of cooked pasta).
2
Bring 4 quarts water and 1 tablespoon salt to boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, about ⏱️ 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain well.

Meanwhile, in a medium skillet over medium heat, add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 5 to ⏱️ 7 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about ⏱️ 30 seconds. Remove from heat.
4
Carefully remove bowl from oven and add eggs, cheese, and pepper to taste (I like 1/2 teaspoon). Beat with a fork to combine. Immediately add pasta, bacon with garlic, and rendered fat and toss to combine.

5
Add a splash of pasta water until desired consistency is reached (it should be creamy), then season to taste with salt and pepper. Garnish with more cheese and freshly parsley, if desired.
